7 Reasons why US/EU won't be able to defeat Russia:
1. Most of the world has refused to sanction Russia. Governments representing 84% of the world's population continue to have normal relations with Russia.
2. There are huge protests and strikes all over Europe -- in UK, France, Germany etc. Many protests are also directly against NATO's involvement in Ukraine war.
3. Hungary is having a referendum to determine if it should buy Russia's oil and gas. Other nations might follow this. Expect movements like "Italy First" and "Czech First".

Nobody cares about virtue signaling for Ukraine.
4. Skyrocketing inflation in Europe -- from 10-22%. Food and energy prices are intolerable. Blackouts and electricity shortage are common now. And winter is coming.

5. One estimate is that 300,000 Europeans will die this winter due to lack of proper heating.
6. Numerous vital German companies -- auto, steel, fertilizer, glass, paper, chemicals etc. -- are idled or shut down. Unemployment due to this unprecedented de-industrialization will have massive consequences.

7. By the end of January, Europe can expect massive social unrest.
Massive blackouts coming to Europe?

300,000 deaths in Europe this winter due to power outages and high electricity prices.

More than 9 months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the masterminds in the US/EU are openly talking about “negotiations” and “peace.”

Here are all the ways their original glorious plans to defeat Putin have failed:
1. Shock-and-awe Economic War:

This was supposed to cripple the Russian economy and destroy the Russian Ruble. But it didn’t happen!
2. All of Russia’s foreign exchange reserves (worth $400 billion) were stolen!

Russia was cutoff from the SWIFT international transfer system.

American/European companies quickly left Russia.

There’s an interesting difference between “de jure” and “de facto” rules/laws.

And it explains America’s clever suppression of free speech.

Very short 🧵 Image
“De jure” means by law. Something that’s explicitly mentioned in the law.

Since free speech is explicitly guaranteed in the US constitution, the government cannot impose a lot of censorship.

Although, they have made tons of exceptions over the years.
However, the US elites don’t want too many censorship laws in the books, since that would debunk their global propaganda about “freedom”.

How can they then demonize other countries and start wars?

Hence the “de facto” censorship!

Geopolitics for Dummies: Why did Putin invade Ukraine?

Will skip all the complexities and explain it so a 10-year-old can understand.
1. Nobody likes a dangerous neighbor. And Ukraine threatened Russia by wanting to join NATO, retake Crimea, and even acquire nuclear weapons.

It’s like Cuba wanting Russian missiles.
2. Black Sea is to Russia what Suez Canal is to Europe or Panama Canal is to the US.

This is also why Russia took back Crimea in 2014. Image

The US establishment is very afraid of Elon Musk’s push towards “freer” speech and citizen journalism. Here’s why:

100 US mainstream media can publish the same lie, but one guy can debunk it with a single viral tweet!

That’s revolutionary; and dangerous to the ruling class. Image
America is addicted to perpetual wars. And nothing else is more dependent on lies than wars.

That’s why Twitter quickly banned Pepe Escobar and Scott Ritter who challenged the official US accusations against Russia.

And why “they” hate Julian Assange so much. Image
This is also why the deep state really hates Trump. He would call the mainstream media as “fake news”, and question America’s sacred cows such as NATO and endless wars.

He even wanted to get along with Russia! So, he was fired by the deep state.

Four pictures of police in different countries to handle protesters. Which ones look "authoritarian" and which ones look "democratic"?

The countries are China, France, Germany and the USA.

#ChinaProtests #COVID #lockdown #Beijing #XiJinping
Below is a photo of American police deployed to put down protests in the city of Ferguson (2014).

Machine guns, armored vehicles... US is a veritable police state.

But hypocrites all over the USA will get fired up about China at the drop of a hat.
European values when the "garden" had protests about COVID lockdown...

Guns, batons, shields, horses, dogs...
